Humidity, temperature and wind data computed by a regional weather model being used for weather forecasting for the Olympics. Humidity is shown as an isosurface of 65%, which is pseudo-colored by temperature. A vertical profile of humidity is shown as pseudo-colored tube. The wind along that profile are shown as vector arrows, pseudo-colored by speed while the profile is used as seed points for computing wind streamlines, which are also pseudo-colored by speed. All of the parameters are registered with a pseudo-colored terrain map overlaid with coastline, river and state boundary maps.
